1 Senate Bill No. 201 Senators Care and Amodei Joint Sponsor: Assemblywoman Ohrenschall CHAPTER... AN ACT relating to the Uniform Commercial Code; revising the provisions of Articles 1 and 7 of the Uniform Commercial Code; and providing other matters properly relating thereto. Legislative Counsel s Digest: The Uniform Commercial Code is a set of uniform laws governing commercial transactions, which was originally adopted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in Article 1 of the Uniform Commercial Code sets forth the definitions and other general provisions that, in the absence of any conflicting provision in the Code, apply as default rules for transactions and matters otherwise covered in other Articles of the Code. Article 1 of the Code was enacted in 1965 in Nevada and is codified as NRS This bill repeals and replaces the provisions of Article 1 by enacting new general provisions relating to the construction, application and subject matter of the Uniform Commercial Code. Many of the changes to Article 1 in this bill are nonsubstantive technical changes such as reordering and renumbering sections and adding gender neutral terminology. However, other changes are substantive clarifications and revisions. Existing law contains substantive requirements relating to the statute of frauds that affect transactions that are not governed by the Uniform Commercial Code. Existing law also addresses the interrelationship between substantive principles of law and the Code and its purposes and policies. This bill deletes the provisions in Article 1 relating to the statute of frauds and specifically states that the substantive rules of Article 1 only apply to transactions that are within the scope of other Articles of the Uniform Commercial Code. The bill also clarifies that, unless a specific provision of the Uniform Commercial Code provides otherwise, the Code preempts principles of common law and equity that are inconsistent with the provisions of the Code or its purposes and policies. Under existing law, the general definition of good faith in Article 1 of the Code only encompasses objective honesty. This bill expands that definition to include the element of commercial reasonableness, which is used in other Articles. Existing law provides that, absent express terms in an agreement to the contrary, course of dealing and usage of trade may be used in interpreting agreements. This bill also authorizes use of course of performance in interpreting agreements, in the absence of express terms in the agreement to the contrary. Article 7 of the Uniform Commercial Code governs the transfer of documents of title, such as warehouse receipts and bills of lading, which are commonly used in the shipment and storage of goods. Adopted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in 1951 and enacted in Nevada in 1965 (NRS ), Article 7 has not been revised in any significant manner since its promulgation. This bill repeals and replaces the provisions of Article 7 and enacts new provisions to provide rules for electronic documents of title. These rules address the recognition of electronic documents of title, the extension of statute of fraud requirements to electronic records and signatures, the establishment of the authenticity of electronic documents of title and the interchangeability between electronic and tangible documents of title. This bill provides that, to the extent

2 2 possible, the rules relating to electronic documents of title are identical to or similar to the rules for tangible documents of title. This bill also modernizes other provisions of Article 7. This bill makes various other technical changes to other Articles of the Uniform Commercial Code that are necessary as a result of the revisions to Articles 1 and 7 of the Code. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEMBLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Chapter 104 of NRS is hereby amended by adding thereto the provisions set forth as sections 2 to 65, inclusive, of this act. Sec This chapter, together with chapter 104A of NRS, may be cited as the Uniform Commercial Code. 2. This Article may be cited as the Uniform Commercial Code General Provisions. Sec. 3. This Article applies to a transaction to the extent that it is governed by another Article of the Uniform Commercial Code. Sec The Uniform Commercial Code must be liberally construed and applied to promote its underlying purposes and policies, which are: (a) To simplify, clarify, and modernize the law governing commercial transactions; (b) To permit the continued expansion of commercial practices through custom, usage, and agreement of the parties; and (c) To make uniform the law among the various jurisdictions. 2. Unless displaced by the particular provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, the principles of law and equity, including the law merchant and the law relative to capacity to contract, principal and agent, estoppel, fraud, misrepresentation, duress, coercion, mistake, bankruptcy, and other validating or invalidating cause supplement its provisions. Sec. 5. The Uniform Commercial Code being a general act intended as a unified coverage of its subject matter, no part of it shall be deemed to be impliedly repealed by subsequent legislation if such construction can reasonably be avoided. Sec. 6. If any provision or clause of the Uniform Commercial Code or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of the Uniform Commercial Code which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code are severable.

A person that sells oil, gas, or other minerals at the wellhead or minehead is a person in the business of selling goods of that kind. A buyer in ordinary course of business may buy for cash, by exchange of other property, or on secured or unsecured credit, and may acquire goods or documents of title under a preexisting contract for sale. Only a buyer that takes possession of the goods or has a right to recover the goods from the seller under Article 2 may be a buyer in ordinary course of business.

Security interest includes any interest of a consignor and a buyer of accounts, chattel paper, a payment intangible, or a promissory note in a transaction that is subject to Article 9. Security interest does not include the special property interest of a buyer of goods on identification of those goods to a contract for sale under NRS , but a buyer may also acquire a

7 7 security interest by complying with Article 9. Except as otherwise provided in NRS , the right of a seller or lessor of goods under Article 2 or 2A to retain or acquire possession of the goods is not a security interest, but a seller or lessor may also acquire a security interest by complying with Article 9. The retention or reservation of title by a seller of goods notwithstanding shipment or delivery to the buyer under NRS is limited in effect to a reservation of a security interest. Whether a transaction in the form of a lease creates a security interest is determined pursuant to section 11 of this act. (jj) Send in connection with a writing, record, or notice means: (1) To deposit in the mail or deliver for transmission by any other usual means of communication with postage or cost of transmission provided for and properly addressed and, in the case of an instrument, to an address specified thereon or otherwise agreed, or if there be none to any address reasonable under the circumstances; or (2) In any other way to cause to be received any record or notice within the time it would have arrived if properly sent.

(qq) Writing includes printing, typewriting, or any other intentional reduction to tangible form. Written has a corresponding meaning. Sec Subject to subsection 6, a person has notice of a fact if the person: (a) Has actual knowledge of it; (b) Has received a notice or notification of it; or (c) From all the facts and circumstances known to the person at the time in question, has reason to know that it exists. 2. Knowledge means actual knowledge. Knows has a corresponding meaning.

8 8 3. Discover, learn, or words of similar import refer to knowledge rather than to reason to know. 4. A person notifies or gives a notice or notification to another person by taking such steps as may be reasonably required to inform the other person in ordinary course, whether or not the other person actually comes to know of it. 5. Subject to subsection 6, a person receives a notice or notification when: (a) It comes to that person s attention; or (b) It is duly delivered in a form reasonable under the circumstances at the place of business through which the contract was made or at another location held out by that person as the place for receipt of such communications. 6. Notice, knowledge, or a notice or notification received by an organization is effective for a particular transaction from the time it is brought to the attention of the natural person conducting that transaction and, in any event, from the time it would have been brought to the natural person s attention if the organization had exercised due diligence. An organization exercises due diligence if it maintains reasonable routines for communicating significant information to the person conducting the transaction and there is reasonable compliance with the routines. Due diligence does not require a natural person acting for the organization to communicate information unless the communication is part of the natural person s regular duties or the natural person has reason to know of the transaction and that the transaction would be materially affected by the information. Sec Whether a transaction in the form of a lease creates a lease or security interest is determined by the facts of each case. 2. A transaction in the form of a lease creates a security interest if the consideration that the lessee is to pay the lessor for the right to possession and use of the goods is an obligation for the term of the lease and is not subject to termination by the lessee, and: (a) The original term of the lease is equal to or greater than the remaining economic life of the goods; (b) The lessee is bound to renew the lease for the remaining economic life of the goods or is bound to become the owner of the goods; (c) The lessee has an option to renew the lease for the remaining economic life of the goods for no additional consideration or for nominal additional consideration upon compliance with the lease agreement; or

9 9 (d) The lessee has an option to become the owner of the goods for no additional consideration or for nominal additional consideration upon compliance with the lease agreement. 3. A transaction in the form of a lease does not create a security interest merely because: (a) The present value of the consideration the lessee is obligated to pay the lessor for the right to possession and use of the goods is substantially equal to or is greater than the fair market value of the goods at the time the lease is entered into; (b) The lessee assumes risk of loss of the goods; (c) The lessee agrees to pay, with respect to the goods, taxes, insurance, filing, recording, or registration fees, or service or maintenance costs; (d) The lessee has an option to renew the lease or to become the owner of the goods; (e) The lessee has an option to renew the lease for a fixed rent that is equal to or greater than the reasonably predictable fair market rent for the use of the goods for the term of the renewal at the time the option is to be performed; or (f) The lessee has an option to become the owner of the goods for a fixed price that is equal to or greater than the reasonably predictable fair market value of the goods at the time the option is to be performed. 4. Additional consideration is nominal if it is less than the lessee s reasonably predictable cost of performing under the lease agreement if the option is not exercised. Additional consideration is not nominal if: (a) When the option to renew the lease is granted to the lessee, the rent is stated to be the fair market rent for the use of the goods for the term of the renewal determined at the time the option is to be performed; or (b) When the option to become the owner of the goods is granted to the lessee, the price is stated to be the fair market value of the goods determined at the time the option is to be performed. 5. The remaining economic life of the goods and reasonably predictable fair market rent, fair market value, or cost of performing under the lease agreement must be determined with reference to the facts and circumstances at the time the transaction is entered into. Sec. 12. Except as otherwise provided in Articles 3, 4, and 5, a person gives value for rights if the person acquires them: 1. In return for a binding commitment to extend credit or for the extension of immediately available credit, whether or not drawn upon and whether or not a charge-back is provided for in the event of difficulties in collection;

10 10 2. As security for, or in total or partial satisfaction of, a preexisting claim; 3. By accepting delivery under a preexisting contract for purchase; or 4. In return for any consideration sufficient to support a simple contract. Sec Whether a time for taking an action required by the Uniform Commercial Code is reasonable depends on the nature, purpose, and circumstances of the action. 2. An action is taken seasonably if it is taken at or within the time agreed or, if no time is agreed, at or within a reasonable time. Sec. 14. Whenever the Uniform Commercial Code creates a presumption with respect to a fact, or provides that a fact is presumed, the trier of fact must find the existence of the fact unless and until evidence is introduced that supports a finding of its nonexistence. Sec Except as otherwise provided in this section, when a transaction bears a reasonable relation to this State and also to another state or nation the parties may agree that the law either of this State or of such other state or nation shall govern their rights and duties. 2. In the absence of an agreement effective under subsection 1, and except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, the Uniform Commercial Code applies to transactions bearing an appropriate relation to this State. 3. If one of the following provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code specifies the applicable law, that provision governs and a contrary agreement is effective only to the extent permitted by the law so specified: (a) NRS ; (b) NRS ; (c) NRS ; (d) NRS ; (e) NRS to , inclusive; (f) NRS 104A.2105 and 104A.2106; and (g) NRS 104A Sec Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2 or elsewhere in the Uniform Commercial Code, the effect of provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code may be varied by agreement. 2. The obligations of good faith, diligence, reasonableness, and care prescribed by the Uniform Commercial Code may not be disclaimed by agreement. The parties, by agreement, may determine the standards by which the performance of those obligations is to be measured if those standards are not manifestly unreasonable. Whenever the Uniform Commercial Code requires

11 11 an action to be taken within a reasonable time, a time that is not manifestly unreasonable may be fixed by agreement. 3. The presence in certain provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of the phrase unless otherwise agreed, or words of similar import, does not imply that the effect of other provisions may not be varied by agreement under this section. Sec A course of performance is a sequence of conduct between the parties to a particular transaction that exists if: (a) The agreement of the parties with respect to the transaction involves repeated occasions for performance by a party; and (b) The other party, with knowledge of the nature of the performance and opportunity for objection to it, accepts the performance or acquiesces in it without objection. 2. A course of dealing is a sequence of conduct concerning previous transactions between the parties to a particular transaction that is fairly to be regarded as establishing a common basis of understanding for interpreting their expressions and other conduct. 3. A usage of trade is any practice or method of dealing having such regularity of observance in a place, vocation, or trade as to justify an expectation that it will be observed with respect to the transaction in question. The existence and scope of such a usage must be proved as facts. If it is established that such a usage is embodied in a trade code or similar record, the interpretation of the record is a question of law. 4. A course of performance or course of dealing between the parties or usage of trade in the vocation or trade in which they are engaged or of which they are or should be aware is relevant in ascertaining the meaning of the parties agreement, may give particular meaning to specific terms of the agreement, and may supplement or qualify the terms of the agreement. A usage of trade applicable in the place in which part of the performance under the agreement is to occur may be so utilized as to that part of the performance. 5. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 6, the express terms of an agreement and any applicable course of performance, course of dealing, or usage of trade must be construed whenever reasonable as consistent with each other. If such a construction is unreasonable: (a) Express terms prevail over course of performance, course of dealing, and usage of trade; (b) Course of performance prevails over course of dealing and usage of trade; and (c) Course of dealing prevails over usage of trade.

12 12 6. Subject to NRS , a course of performance is relevant to show a waiver or modification of any term inconsistent with the course of performance. 7. Evidence of a relevant usage of trade offered by one party is not admissible unless that party has given the other party notice that the court finds sufficient to prevent unfair surprise to the other party. Sec. 18. Every contract or duty within the Uniform Commercial Code imposes an obligation of good faith in its performance and enforcement. Sec The remedies provided by the Uniform Commercial Code must be liberally administered to the end that the aggrieved party may be put in as good a position as if the other party had fully performed but neither consequential or special damages nor penal damages may be had except as specifically provided in the Uniform Commercial Code or by other rule of law. 2. Any right or obligation declared by the Uniform Commercial Code is enforceable by action unless the provision declaring it specifies a different and limited effect. Sec. 20. A claim or right arising out of an alleged breach may be discharged in whole or in part without consideration by agreement of the aggrieved party in an authenticated record. Sec. 21. A document in due form purporting to be a bill of lading, policy or certificate of insurance, official weigher s or inspector s certificate, consular invoice, or any other document authorized or required by the contract to be issued by a third party is prima facie evidence of its own authenticity and genuineness and of the facts stated in the document by the third party. Sec A party that with explicit reservation of rights performs or promises performance or assents to performance in a manner demanded or offered by the other party does not thereby prejudice the rights reserved. Such words as without prejudice, under protest, or the like are sufficient. 2. Subsection 1 does not apply to an accord and satisfaction. Sec. 23. A term providing that one party or that party s successor in interest may accelerate payment or performance or require collateral or additional collateral at will or when the party deems itself insecure, or words of similar import, means that the party has power to do so only if that party in good faith believes that the prospect of payment or performance is impaired. The burden of establishing lack of good faith is on the party against which the power has been exercised. Sec. 24. An obligation may be issued as subordinated to performance of another obligation of the person obligated, or a creditor may subordinate its right to performance of an obligation by agreement with either the person obligated or another creditor

13 13 of the person obligated. Subordination does not create a security interest as against either the common debtor or a subordinated creditor. Sec. 25. This Article may be cited as Uniform Commercial Code Documents of Title. Sec In this Article, unless the context otherwise requires: (a) Bailee means a person that by a warehouse receipt, bill of lading, or other document of title acknowledges possession of goods and contracts to deliver them. (b) Carrier means a person that issues a bill of lading. (c) Consignee means a person named in a bill of lading to which or to whose order the bill promises delivery. (d) Consignor means a person named in a bill of lading as the person from whom the goods have been received for shipment. (e) Delivery order means a record that contains an order to deliver goods directed to a warehouse, carrier, or other person that in the ordinary course of business issues warehouse receipts or bills of lading. (f) Goods means all things that are treated as movable for the purposes of a contract for storage or transportation. (g) Issuer means a bailee that issues a document of title or, in the case of an unaccepted delivery order, the person that orders the possessor of goods to deliver. The term includes a person for whom an agent or employee purports to act in issuing a document if the agent or employee has real or apparent authority to issue documents, even if the issuer did not receive any goods, the goods were misdescribed, or in any other respect the agent or employee violated the issuer s instructions. (h) Person entitled under the document means the holder, in the case of a negotiable document of title, or the person to whom delivery of the goods is to be made by the terms of, or pursuant to instructions in a record under, a nonnegotiable document of title. (i) Sign means, with present intent to authenticate or adopt a record: (1) To execute or adopt a tangible symbol; or (2) To attach to or logically associate with the record an electronic sound, symbol, or process. (j) Shipper means a person that enters into a contract of transportation with a carrier. (k) Warehouse means a person engaged in the business of storing goods for hire. 2. Definitions in other Articles applying to this Article and the sections in which they appear are: (a) Contract for sale, NRS

14 14 (b) Lessee in the ordinary course of business, NRS 104A (c) Receipt of goods, NRS In addition, Article 1 contains general definitions and principles of construction and interpretation applicable throughout this Article. Sec This Article is subject to any treaty or statute of the United States or regulatory statute of this state to the extent the treaty, statute, or regulatory statute is applicable. 2. This Article does not modify or repeal any law prescribing the form or content of a document of title or the services or facilities to be afforded by a bailee, or otherwise regulating a bailee s business in respects not specifically treated in this Article. However, violation of such a law does not affect the status of a document of title that otherwise is within the definition of a document of title. 3. This Article modifies, limits, and supersedes the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C et. seq., but does not modify, limit, or supersede Section 101(c) of that act, 15 U.S.C. 7001(c), or authorize electronic delivery of any of the notices described in Section 103(b) of that act, 15 U.S.C. 7003(b). 4. To the extent there is a conflict between the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and this Article, this Article governs. Sec Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a document of title is negotiable if by its terms the goods are to be delivered to bearer or to the order of a named person. 2. A document of title other than one described in subsection 1 is nonnegotiable. A bill of lading that states that the goods are consigned to a named person is not made negotiable by a provision that the goods are to be delivered only against an order in a record signed by the same or another named person. 3. A document of title is nonnegotiable if, at the time it is issued, the document has a conspicuous legend, however expressed, that it is nonnegotiable. Sec Upon request of a person entitled under an electronic document of title, the issuer of the electronic document may issue a tangible document of title as a substitute for the electronic document if: (a) The person entitled under the electronic document surrenders control of the document to the issuer; and (b) The tangible document when issued contains a statement that it is issued in substitution for the electronic document. 2. Upon issuance of a tangible document of title in substitution for an electronic document of title in accordance with subsection 1:

15 15 (a) The electronic document ceases to have any effect or validity; and (b) The person that procured issuance of the tangible document warrants to all subsequent persons entitled under the tangible document that the warrantor was a person entitled under the electronic document when the warrantor surrendered control of the electronic document to the issuer. 3. Upon request of a person entitled under a tangible document of title, the issuer of the tangible document may issue an electronic document of title as a substitute for the tangible document if: (a) The person entitled under the tangible document surrenders possession of the document to the issuer; and (b) The electronic document when issued contains a statement that it is issued in substitution for the tangible document. 4. Upon issuance of an electronic document of title in substitution for a tangible document of title in accordance with subsection 3: (a) The tangible document ceases to have any effect or validity; and (b) The person that procured issuance of the electronic document warrants to all subsequent persons entitled under the electronic document that the warrantor was a person entitled under the tangible document when the warrantor surrendered possession of the tangible document to the issuer. Sec A person has control of an electronic document of title if a system employed for evidencing the transfer of interests in the electronic document reliably establishes that person as the person to whom the electronic document was issued or transferred. 2. A system satisfies subsection 1, and a person is deemed to have control of an electronic document of title, if the document is created, stored, and assigned in such a manner that: (a) A single authoritative copy of the document exists which is unique, identifiable, and, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (d), (e), and (f), unalterable; (b) The authoritative copy identifies the person asserting control as: (1) The person to whom the document was issued; or (2) If the authoritative copy indicates that the document has been transferred, the person to whom the document was most recently transferred; (c) The authoritative copy is communicated to and maintained by the person asserting control or its designated custodian;

16 16 (d) Copies or amendments that add or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy can be made only with the consent of the person asserting control; (e) Each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy; and (f) Any amendment of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as authorized or unauthorized. Sec A warehouse receipt may be issued by any warehouse. 2. If goods, including distilled spirits and agricultural commodities, are stored under a statute requiring a bond against withdrawal or a license for the issuance of receipts in the nature of warehouse receipts, a receipt issued for the goods is deemed to be a warehouse receipt even if issued by a person that is the owner of the goods and is not a warehouse. Sec A warehouse receipt need not be in any particular form. 2. Unless a warehouse receipt provides for each of the following, the warehouse is liable for damages caused to a person injured by its omission: (a) A statement of the location of the warehouse facility where the goods are stored; (b) The date of issue of the receipt; (c) The unique identification code of the receipt; (d) A statement whether the goods received will be delivered to the bearer, to a named person, or to a named person or its order; (e) The rate of storage and handling charges, unless goods are stored under a field warehousing arrangement, in which case a statement of that fact is sufficient on a nonnegotiable receipt; (f) A description of the goods or the packages containing them; (g) The signature of the warehouse or its agent; (h) If the receipt is issued for goods that the warehouse owns, either solely, jointly, or in common with others, a statement of the fact of that ownership; and (i) A statement of the amount of advances made and of liabilities incurred for which the warehouse claims a lien or security interest, unless the precise amount of advances made or liabilities incurred, at the time of the issue of the receipt, is unknown to the warehouse or to its agent that issued the receipt, in which case a statement of the fact that advances have been made or liabilities incurred and the purpose of the advances or liabilities is sufficient. 3. A warehouse may insert in its receipt any terms that are not contrary to the Uniform Commercial Code and do not impair

17 17 its obligation of delivery under section 52 of this act or its duty of care under section 34 of this act. Any contrary provision is ineffective. Sec. 33. A party to or purchaser for value in good faith of a document of title, other than a bill of lading, that relies upon the description of the goods in the document may recover from the issuer damages caused by the nonreceipt or misdescription of the goods, except to the extent that: 1. The document conspicuously indicates that the issuer does not know whether all or part of the goods in fact were received or conform to the description, such as a case in which the description is in terms of marks or labels or kind, quantity, or condition, or the receipt or description is qualified by contents, condition, and quality unknown, said to contain, or words of similar import, if the indication is true; or 2. The party or purchaser otherwise has notice of the nonreceipt or misdescription. Sec A warehouse is liable for damages for loss of or injury to the goods caused by its failure to exercise care with regard to the goods that a reasonably careful person would exercise under similar circumstances. Unless otherwise agreed, the warehouse is not liable for damages that could not have been avoided by the exercise of that care. 2. Damages may be limited by a term in the warehouse receipt or storage agreement limiting the amount of liability in case of loss or damage beyond which the warehouse is not liable. Such a limitation is not effective with respect to the warehouse s liability for conversion to its own use. On request of the bailor in a record at the time of signing the storage agreement or within a reasonable time after receipt of the warehouse receipt, the warehouse s liability may be increased on part or all of the goods covered by the storage agreement or the warehouse receipt. In this event, increased rates may be charged based on an increased valuation of the goods. 3. Reasonable provisions as to the time and manner of presenting claims and commencing actions based on the bailment may be included in the warehouse receipt or storage agreement. Sec. 35. A buyer in ordinary course of business of fungible goods sold and delivered by a warehouse that is also in the business of buying and selling such goods takes the goods free of any claim under a warehouse receipt even if the receipt is negotiable and has been duly negotiated. Sec A warehouse, by giving notice to the person on whose account the goods are held and any other person known to claim an interest in the goods, may require payment of any charges and removal of the goods from the warehouse at the

18 18 termination of the period of storage fixed by the document of title or, if a period is not fixed, within a stated period not less than 30 days after the warehouse gives notice. If the goods are not removed before the date specified in the notice, the warehouse may sell them pursuant to section 40 of this act. 2. If a warehouse in good faith believes that goods are about to deteriorate or decline in value to less than the amount of its lien within the time provided in subsection 1 and section 40 of this act, the warehouse may specify in the notice given under subsection 1 any reasonable shorter time for removal of the goods and, if the goods are not removed, may sell them at public sale held not less than 1 week after a single advertisement or posting. 3. If, as a result of a quality or condition of the goods of which the warehouse did not have notice at the time of deposit, the goods are a hazard to other property, the warehouse facilities, or other persons, the warehouse may sell the goods at public or private sale without advertisement or posting on reasonable notification to all persons known to claim an interest in the goods. If the warehouse, after a reasonable effort, is unable to sell the goods, it may dispose of them in any lawful manner and does not incur liability by reason of that disposition. 4. A warehouse shall deliver the goods to any person entitled to them under this Article upon due demand made at any time before sale or other disposition under this section. 5. A warehouse may satisfy its lien from the proceeds of any sale or disposition under this section but shall hold the balance for delivery on the demand of any person to whom the warehouse would have been bound to deliver the goods. Sec Unless the warehouse receipt provides otherwise, a warehouse shall keep separate the goods covered by each receipt so as to permit at all times identification and delivery of those goods. However, different lots of fungible goods may be commingled. 2. If different lots of fungible goods are commingled, the goods are owned in common by the persons entitled thereto and the warehouse is severally liable to each owner for that owner s share. If, because of overissue, a mass of fungible goods is insufficient to meet all the receipts the warehouse has issued against it, the persons entitled include all holders to which overissued receipts have been duly negotiated. Sec. 38. If a blank in a negotiable tangible warehouse receipt has been filled in without authority, a good-faith purchaser for value and without notice of the lack of authority may treat the insertion as authorized. Any other unauthorized alteration leaves any tangible or electronic warehouse receipt enforceable against the issuer according to its original tenor.

19 19 Sec A warehouse has a lien against the bailor on the goods covered by a warehouse receipt or storage agreement or on the proceeds thereof in its possession for charges for storage or transportation, including demurrage and terminal charges, insurance, labor, or other charges, present or future, in relation to the goods, and for expenses necessary for preservation of the goods or reasonably incurred in their sale pursuant to law. If the person on whose account the goods are held is liable for similar charges or expenses in relation to other goods whenever deposited and it is stated in the warehouse receipt or storage agreement that a lien is claimed for charges and expenses in relation to other goods, the warehouse also has a lien against the goods covered by the warehouse receipt or storage agreement or on the proceeds thereof in its possession for those charges and expenses, whether or not the other goods have been delivered by the warehouse. However, as against a person to whom a negotiable warehouse receipt is duly negotiated, a warehouse s lien is limited to charges in an amount or at a rate specified in the warehouse receipt or, if no charges are so specified, to a reasonable charge for storage of the specific goods covered by the receipt subsequent to the date of the receipt. 2. A warehouse may also reserve a security interest against the bailor for the maximum amount specified on the receipt for charges other than those specified in subsection 1, such as for money advanced and interest. The security interest is governed by Article A warehouse s lien for charges and expenses under subsection 1 or a security interest under subsection 2 is also effective against any person that so entrusted the bailor with possession of the goods that a pledge of them by the bailor to a good-faith purchaser for value would have been valid. However, the lien or security interest is not effective against a person that before issuance of a document of title had a legal interest or a perfected security interest in the goods and that did not: (a) Deliver or entrust the goods or any document of title covering the goods to the bailor or the bailor s nominee with: (1) Actual or apparent authority to ship, store, or sell; (2) Power to obtain delivery under section 52 of this act; or (3) Power of disposition under NRS , , subsection 3 of NRS , subsection 2 of NRS 104A.2304 or subsection 2 of NRS 104A.2305, or other statute or rule of law; or (b) Acquiesce in the procurement by the bailor or its nominee of any document. 4. A warehouse s lien on household goods for charges and expenses in relation to the goods under subsection 1 is also effective against all persons if the depositor was the legal

20 20 possessor of the goods at the time of deposit. In this subsection, household goods means furniture, furnishings, or personal effects used by the depositor in a dwelling. 5. A warehouse loses its lien on any goods that it voluntarily delivers or unjustifiably refuses to deliver. Sec Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, a warehouse s lien may be enforced by public or private sale of the goods, in bulk or in packages, at any time or place and on any terms that are commercially reasonable, after notifying all persons known to claim an interest in the goods. The notification must include a statement of the amount due, the nature of the proposed sale, and the time and place of any public sale. The fact that a better price could have been obtained by a sale at a different time or in a method different from that selected by the warehouse is not of itself sufficient to establish that the sale was not made in a commercially reasonable manner. The warehouse sells in a commercially reasonable manner if the warehouse sells the goods in the usual manner in any recognized market therefor, sells at the price current in that market at the time of the sale, or otherwise sells in conformity with commercially reasonable practices among dealers in the type of goods sold. A sale of more goods than apparently necessary to be offered to ensure satisfaction of the obligation is not commercially reasonable, except in cases covered by the preceding sentence. 2. A warehouse may enforce its lien on goods, other than goods stored by a merchant in the course of its business, only if the following requirements are satisfied: (a) All persons known to claim an interest in the goods must be notified. (b) The notification must include an itemized statement of the claim, a description of the goods subject to the lien, a demand for payment within a specified time not less than 10 days after receipt of the notification, and a conspicuous statement that unless the claim is paid within that time the goods will be advertised for sale and sold by auction at a specified time and place. (c) The sale must conform to the terms of the notification. (d) The sale must be held at the nearest suitable place to where the goods are held or stored. (e) After the expiration of the time given in the notification, an advertisement of the sale must be published once a week for 2 weeks consecutively in a newspaper of general circulation where the sale is to be held. The advertisement must include a description of the goods, the name of the person on whose account the goods are being held, and the time and place of the sale. The sale must take place at least 15 days after the first publication. If there is no newspaper of general circulation where the sale is to be held, the
